The Club
The Club was formed in 1971 by the Royal Air Force Inter-Service Rifle Team with
the aim of fostering interest and expertise in competition Target rifle
shooting, but in particular to provide the foundation for a winning
Inter-Services team.
|
Most of those who formed the club are still shooting or
are involved with shooting; Wing commander Jimmy James, the first Chairman, was
involved until very recently in helping to run the National Rifle Association
Imperial Meeting. Mike Turner the first secretary and John Knight have
both been very influential in the way the club has developed over the last 30
years.
|
Part of that tradition is to tour abroad to
gain experience of all types of ranges and to make as many new friends in
the process. The annual trip to Jersey is a tradition started in our
very first year and is highly valued by the club as it is the foundation
tour on which we have built the teamwork needed to produce winning teams
both at home and abroad. |
